anyhow will be able to tell us tomorrow morning at 8'0'clock , ththat is on 7 morning whether we can stay for one more day or

not. Now on the wheelchair only from the reception we go to

our room. It's already 8pm and feeling a bit tired we unpack

our things. Now, carrying our sterilised plates from the room,

in the wheelchair , we come down to the dining hall for dinner.

We call the Head chef, Mr. Banerjee and explain him our

special food needs and strict hygiene conditions due to

compromised immunity. Mr. Banerjee did what could have

been the best to put all our anxieties to rest and cooked a

fantastic meal for us exclusively (this is all work of the

energies that one radiates to others). Just at the end when we

finished our food, we sounded our co-worker,that “we are not

feeling good and must move to the room”. We just finished

our sentence and after that we do not know what happened.

When we came back to our senses, the co-worker had

splashed water on our face and people were standing all

around, showing their concern, as to, should they call the

doctor. We said, no need, we are fine. Our co-worker informed

us that we were knocked out completely for 3 to 4 minutes

and she had been praying to Guruje for our safety. By God's

grace and guru's blessings we did not fall off the chair, and

were not at all aware as to what happened during those 3-4

minutes. It seemed to be a glaring life threatening situation.

We told our co-worker that in such situation we should have

been made to lie down flat on the ground with legs raised to

augment blood supply to the brain As our BP stays pretty low

around 80/50 so this black out happened due to the BP further

going down to a critical level for key reason unknown and this

situation could have proved fatal ; eating of food also diverts

blood supply to the gut which added to our voes.

“After this episode we were totally exhausted as the brain was

deprived of its normal blood supply for 3-4 minutes. The Soul

Ok, what you have to understand is, when the lower self of Dr.

Rahul is guided by the higher self, that is the soul

consciousness, then Dr Rahul will never question as to why he

should not do this or that. We will go by that guidance. To

clarify further in certain situations it is the energy of the Guru

which is backing up that soul consciousness.

We left for ashram at Thally in Tamil Nadu with one of our co-thworkers on 6 of Dec 2016, to fulfill our commitment to take

care of the kitchen construction. We also did our booking for th6 night stay in a hotel at Bangalore, as the flight was reaching

thlate evening on 6 . In the morning after overnight stay at

hotel we had planned to go to Hosur Industrial Area, enroute

to ashram to check out on the lift supplier for the kitchen and

an agency who manufactures motorised wheelchair, which Dr.

Rahul may need in future. Actually now what one has to

understand is that, for the first time it so happened in 12 years

that on reaching the hotel, we asked our co-worker to call for

a wheelchair, though in the past, this body has never moved

around on a wheelchair in the hotel except only at the airport

for boarding a flight. We had conducted many YPV

programmes at Clarks Amer, Jaipur which had involved lot of

walking but we never took a wheelchair though had severe

cramps in-between. Recently even at a hotel at Jaipur in May

2016, we conducted a whole day YPV programme, but inspite

of all odds we pushed the body to walk.

Now we were not questioning our perception , but the co-

worker looked at us with surprise and asked,” Sir,

wheelchair?” We just replied, “yes get one”. So we went to the

reception on the wheelchair to complete the check-in

formalities and Dr. Rahul enquires at the reception,” We may

have to stay for one more day”. The receptionist replied, that

they were totally booked and will not be able to extend but

2.Endless knotThe endless knot (Sanskrit: śrīvatsa) denotes "the a u s p i c i o u s m a r k represented by a curled noose emblematic of love". Moreover, it represents the intertwining of wisdom and compassion, the mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs, the union of wisdom and method, the inseparability of ś ū n y a t ā " e m p t i n e s s " a n d pratītyasamutpāda" interdependent origination", and the union of wisdom and compassion in enlightenment. This knot, net or web metaphor also conveys the Buddhist teaching of Interpenetration. 3.FishPair of golden fishThe two goldfish (Sanskrit: gaurmastsya) symbolise the ausp ic iousness of a l l sentient beings in a state of fearlessness without danger of drowning in saṃsāra.The two golden fishes are linked with the Ganges and Yamuna nadi, Prana and carp. The two fishes originally represented the two main sacred rivers of India - the Ganges and Yamuna. These rivers are associated with the lunar and solar channels, which originate in the nostrils and carry the alternating rhythms of breath or prana. They have religious significance in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist traditions but also in Christianity (the sign ofthe fish, the feeding of the five thousand). In Buddhism, the fish symbolize happiness as they have complete freedom of movement in the water. They represent fertility and abundance. 4.LotusThe lotus flower (Sanskrit: padma), represent the primordial purity of body, speech, and mind, floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire.5.ParasolJewelled parasolThe j ewe l l ed pa raso l (Sanskrit: chatraratna), which is similar in ritual function to the baldachin or canopy: represents the

protection of beings from harmful forces and illness. It represents the canopy or firmament of the sky and therefore the expansiveness and unfolding of space and the element ether. It represents the expansiveness, unfolding and protective quality of the sahasrara: all take refuge in the dharma under the auspiciousness of the parasol.6.VaseTreasure vaseT h e t r e a s u r e v a s e represents health, longevity, wealth, prosperity, wisdom and the phenomenon of space. The wisdom urn or treasure vase is used in m a n y e m p o w e r m e n t (Vajrayana) and initiations.7.DharmachakraThe dharmachakra or "Whee l o f t h e L aw, represents Gautama Buddha and the Dharma teaching. This symbol is commonly used by Tibetan Buddhists, where it sometimes also includes an inner wheel of the Gankyil (Tibetan). Nepalese Buddhists don't use the Wheel of Law in the eight auspicious symbols. Instead of the dharmachakra, a fly-whisk may be used as one of the ashtamangala to symbolize Tantric manifestations. It is made of a yak's tail attached to a silver staff, and used in ritual recitation and during fanning the deities in Pujas. Prayer sheels take the form of a dharmachakra guise. The Sudarshana Chakra is a Hindu wheel-symbol.8.Victory BannerThe dhvaja (Sanskrit) "banner, flag" was a military standard of ancient Indian warfare. Within the Tibetan tradition, a list of eleven different forms of the victory banner is given to represent eleven specific methods for overcoming defilement. Many variations of the dhvaja's design can be seen on the roofs of Tibetan monasteries to symbolise the Buddha's victory over four maras.Sequences of Symbols: Different traditions order the eight symbols differently.

Editor scribbles: My good friend Dr. Daga gifted me a wall hanging of eight auspicious symbols which he got from Ladakh. Thus this article was the outcome of our curiosity to know more about them.The Ashtamangala are a sacred suite of Eight Auspicious Signsendemic to a number of such as Indian religions Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism. and The symbols or "symbolic attributes”are yidam and teaching tools. Not only do these attributes, these energetic signatures, point to qualities of enlightened but they are the mindstream,investiture that ornaments these enlightened "qualities" (Sanskrit: guna).Groupings of eight auspicious symbols were originally used in India at ceremonies such as an investiture or coronation of a king. In Buddhism, these eight symbols of good fortune represent the offerings made by the gods to Shakyamuni Buddha immediately after he gained enlightenment.In BuddhismTibetan Buddhists make use of a particular set of eight auspicious symbols, ashtamangala, in household and public art. Some common interpretations are given along with each symbol although different teachers may give different interpretations:1.ConchThe right-turning white conch shell (Sanskrit: śankha) represents the beautiful, deep, melodious, interpene-t rat ing and pervasive sound of the dharma, which awakens disciples from the deep slumber of ignorance and urges them to accomplish their own welfare and the welfare of others. The conch shell is thought to have been the original horn-trumpet; ancient Indian mythical epics relate heroes carrying conch shells. The Indian god Vishnu is also described as having a conch shell as one of his main emblems; his shell bore the name Panchajanya meaning "having control over the five classes of beings". In Hinduism, the conch is an attribute of Vishnu along with the Sudarshana Chakra.

"One must remember that the Guru works

with the soul aspect of your form or rather

of the humanity and does not work with

their astral bodies. This has been often

forgotten. Now through the use of the still

higher faculty which is the characteristic of

the soul, one enters into voluntary and

intelligent control of his instrument and

learns to understand the purposes for

which it exists. This higher faculty is the

intuition. Now further one has to

understand, as the man becomes intuitive

and the disciple can pass from the stage of

probation, to that of acceptance in

Master's group. So intuition or intuitive

abilities of the soul helps align to the group

of the Master and you are accepted by the

Master as well. As the great deal of

training is given to the probationer,

without his real ly recognis ing it

consciously; it is that mental world

wherethe Masters are first contacted." (As

per Holy Master DK) Thus, one has to

carry his consciousness on the higher

planes, align the lower self with the

higher self and as you build the

antahkarana and the rainbow bridge and

control the lower nature through selfless

service for the Guru, pushing yourself to

extreme then at some stage you can

become the conductor of the energy of

the Guru for the manifestation of his plan.

More you push yourself hard, more the

alignment with the Guru and more the

energy flows down to guide you and even

protect you, like in this case which we

narrated. But even in such devastating

bodily condition, we are not deterred

from our determination to go on working

for the Guru. He will test you in many

ways. If you fulfil your commitments as

assigned by the Guru then more higher

responsibilities come onto you to

shoulder and carry forward your group on

the path as the light of the soul shines

forth. So this is a lesson for all of you that

do not be deterred by your physical

limitations in working for the Guru or

what has been assigned to you and that

the same work has to be carried out

selflessly without any personal selfish

motive otherwise you will not be at the

place where you have to be on the path.

consciousness was aware, but probably

was not aware of the time when it is going

to happen( break down of physical body

system), so that safeguard / precaution

was instituted by way of instructions to

take a wheelchair right from the point

when we entered the hotel.If at all this

knock out would have happened while

walking around in the hotel premises we

could have banged our head on the floor

and injured ourself badly. So that divine

protection was there. Dr. Rahul will never

question , will just follow, the guidance of

soul consciousness as it comes being

aware that we will soon know why we

were acting in the manner as acted to call

for a wheelchair .thNext day i.e. 7 Dec, as per schedule we

were to check- out but with the blessings

of the Guru, the reception informed of a

days' extension as per our request

allowing to rest the body to recover. Now

our co-worker could comprehend the

reason for extension to stay and also

being on a wheelchair at the Hotel even

for short distances repeatedly.th So finally on 8 we went to ashram via

Hosur Industrial area , concluding our

meetings there.We sorted out things of

the kitchen under construction at ashram thand travelled back to Jaipur on 12 Dec.

So people have to understand when you

are guided and aligned with the higher

self the guidance comes. If you work

selflessly for Guru over–riding your

physical limitations then divine also takes

care. It is not easy to travel in such

conditions with the BP already being

down to 82/50, while we were travelling

and at the time of black out when the BP

would have further gone down to 72/46

for 3-4 min. At that time the co-worker

was invoking to the Guru but at physical

level also you have to address

appropriately. So probably we are still

required to work for our Guru so we came

out, came back otherwise in such

situation anything could have happened

in the light of the background that we

were not made to lie down flat on our

back, with the legs up to quickly

augment the blood supply to the brain

to come back to senses. So that's how

people have to comprehend.

Contd. from Pg. 1Assigning Healing Angels

After treatment, it is better to request God to assign a healing angel to remain with a patient suffering from a severe ailment in order to further accelerate the healing process. The patient should be instructed to be more receptive by invoking God's blessings several times a day. The healer can request for healing angels to be assigned to the patient by silently reciting the prayer :

To the Supreme God,

Thanks you for assigning a healing angel to remain with the patient until he is completely cured.

With thanks and in full faith. So be it!

To the healing angel assigned,

Thank you for the healing .

In full faith

So be it.

It is important that the invocation should

be done with humility, sincerity and

reverence.

service.

The reasoning mind of the disciple can then take the successes and failures he encounters in his training,[and through service] and learn the intended lessons; he finds that progress upon the Path brings a man into closer conscious touch with those who have walked this way before, and that the way into the Hierarchy is a way of discipline, of increasing enlightenment, of service to his fellowmen and of a growing responsiveness to contacts and to individuals of which the average human being knows nothing.

Only those who are beginning to come under the influence and the control of their own souls and are, therefore, mentally focussed and attuned, are eligible for the training offered by the Hierarchy. This Esoteric training is also concerned with the development of soul consciousness and with the expansion of that consciousness to include, and exclude, all forms of life through which pulses the life of God. The true disciple is ever inclusive and never exclusive.

inner side. Their activities are confined largely to the mental plane and to the scientific use of thought. Thus they guide their workers and helpers and influence and direct Their working disciples and the world disciples. [NGWS and men and women of good will.]

Then we have those who act as links between the Masters and the race of men. [NGWS] They are the intermedia-ries in the working out of the Plan in the world, thus aiding with their wisdom and experience and supplementing the capacities of the field of workers.

Members of the NGWS stand for the following ideals, tasks and functions.

1. They are steadily cultivating an international spirit of good will and to this they consecrate every effort .

2. They have the immediate task of achieving power in moulding men's ideas to the needed changes of thought and the new technique of work all over the world.

3. Materialising ideas like brotherhood, expression of good will and the fulfilment of the law of love.

4. Their work is the educating of the human being and the expanding of the human consciousness so that the newer and truer ideas may be grasped; the idea of the New Age.

5. They are mediating between Hierarchy and humanity, responding to Hierarchical impression and meditating the Plan into existence.

Discipleship training in the New Age is primarily an experiment in group work and its main objective is not the perfection of the individual disciple in the group. Every disciple has to learn to subordinate his own ideas of personal growth to group requirements. Only that is of moment which will further group e f f o r t a nd e n r i c h t h e g r oup consciousness. Disciples in the group of a Master have to love each other with intelligence and an abiding strength and thus release that light and power which will eventually make the group of effective value in the world for working out the Plan for the world through

The World has passed the stage where a disciple used to sit at the feet of a Master or Guru to get instruction. A greater need in the world and the intellectual development in the world today have given rise to a new and better way of training for discipleship. The experiment of changing the methods [of training] and of implementing the new technique of group work [New age], has to be carried out in the midst of the stress and strain of Western civilisation.

The Master DK has stated that in the New Age, the field of training for the disciple is in the New Group of World Servers. [NGWS]

Who or what is the NGWS? One of the decisions that was made, by the Hierarchy at the Great Meeting of Cooperation in 1925 was to link more closely and subjectively the senior disciples, aspirants and workers in the world. To this end, all the Masters put Their personal groups of disciples in touch with each other, subjectively, intuitively, and sometimes telepathically. Thus the NGWS came into being.

This group would act as liaison officers, interpreters between the inner active Hierarchy and the thinkers of the world, and also serve as agents in every country and in every group. Thus all groups which were animated by any desire to serve, and which were [in spite of errors in technique and method] of any usefulness in aiding their fellow men, were swept into a current of spiritual stimulation with the intent to increase their effectiveness.

All the disciples are divided into two parts:

1. An inner nucleus, composed of those servers who know themselves to be disciples, is consciously in touch with the Plan, and is strenuously working at its development.

2. Those who have responded to the vision as it has been presented to them by the first group and have ranged themselves definitely on the side of the Plan. They are therefore, men and women of good will.

Thus we have the Masters, and Their cooperating initiates, working on the

Discipleship and the NGWS

water at one time! So, the legend can be substantiated. But it would be Nicholas Roerich who would lead a five-year scientific and artistic expedition of Central Asia in 1923 — the first expedition to cross the Tibetan Highlands, north to south, from western China to India. A noted archaeologist and artist, Roerich was the first to capture the magnificence of the Himalayas — the subject of a number of his 7,000 paintings. Roerich was also the first Buddhist nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Their 15,500-mile journey throughout Asia, taking their sons with them, was an extraordinary and dangerous adventure involving, for example, the crossing of 35 mountain passes from 14,000 to 21,000 feet in elevation.

“But these were the challenges [Roerich] felt born for.

Agni Yoga

Nicholas and Helena Roerich co-

“Over 120 years ago, it was Helena Blavatsky who introduced the legacy of Shambhala to Western seekers, otherwise it might have remained hidden in the domain of a few scholars. 'Shambhala' means "source of happiness in Sanskrit — 'a place of peace and tranquility.' (Wikipedia)Nicholas and Helena Roerich asserted that“Shamballa is the indispensable site where the spiritual world unites with the material one.”

“S'ambhala (Sk). A very mysterious locality on account of its future associations. A town or village mentioned in the Purânas, whence, it is prophesied, the Kalki Avatar will appear. The 'Kalki' is Vishnu, the Messiah on the White Horse of the Brahmins; Maitreya Buddha of the Buddhists, Sosiosh of the Parsis, and Jesus of the Christians (See Revelations). All these 'messengers' are to appear 'before the destruction of the world,' says the one; before the end of Kali Yuga say the others. It is in S'ambhala that the future Messiah will be born. Some Orientalists make modern Murâdâbâd in Rohilkhand (N.W.P.) identical with S'ambhala, while Occultism places it in the Himalayas. It is pronounced Shambhala.”

Blavatsky also tells us, in The Secret Doctrine (SDII 319), that the continent of Lemuria's elect had “taken shelter on the sacred Island…in the [current] Gobi Desert….”

And Master K.H. reveals (Mahatma Letters, 155) that the inhabitants of Shambhala, “when yet an island in the Central Asian Sea,” were called the “Sons of the Fiery Mist” who triumphed over “the selfish but not entirely wicked magicians of Poseidonis….”

A Scientific View

I've always wondered about the island of Shambhala and the notion of an ocean in the Gobi Desert. Is there any geo-scientific evidence for this? Some years ago, I asked a professor at UCLA's Department of Earth and Space Sciences this question and he said that the Gobi Desert, which spans areas of China and Mongolia, had indeed been covered by

founded the Agni Yoga Society, headquartered in New York City.

FDR, The Gobi and Climate Change

The expedition was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One of the purposes was to gather samples of drought-resistant grasses for the Great Plains areas.

Bu t i t was Pres ident Roosevelt himself who proposed the expedition as he

believed that trees at one time grew in the Gobi Desert and that when the trees were cut down, the climate changed. If trees could be grown there again, he thought, it would correct the climate.But for the Roerichs and Wallace, the exped i t ion a l so meant the possibility of finding Shambhala.

Roerich's Shambhala

Nicholas Roerich explains in Heart of Asia.“In the East they know that there exists two Shambhalas – an earthly andan invisible one.”In their search for Shambhala, the Roerichs travelled to Inner Mongolia. Roerich had been a student of the Mongolian Lama Agwan Dorjeff in the early 1900s and the Roerichs lived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 1926-1927.

The Roerichs oldest son, George (1902-1960), was an accomplished scholar in Tibetan studies. One of his many great contributions was the translation of a 15th century Tibetan Buddhist text called The Blue Annals - almost 1,300 pages in length.

Trace how the word Shambhala is uttered in the East. Try to penetrate, even in a small way, into the ideology of this concept. Try to understand the rhythm of structure of speech about Shambhala, and you will perceive a great reality which causes the harp-strings of humanity to vibrate. Let reason help you to ponder on the values accumulated by the best strivings.

1. To serve humanity.

2. To co-operate with the Plan of the Great Ones as he sees it and as best he may.

3. To develop the powers of the Ego, to expand his consciousness until he can function on the three planes in the three worlds , and in the causal body , and to follow the guidance of the higher self and not the dictates of his three-fold lower manifesta-tion.

His sense of proportion is adjusted, and he sees things as they are; he sees people as they are; he sees himself as he inherently is, and seeks to become that which he is. He works with force and through force; he recognises himself as a force centre within a greater force centre, and his is the responsibility of directing the energy which may pour through him into channels through which the group can be benefited.

He is an outpost of the Master's consciousness, which is the centre of his group, he realises his responsibility to all units who come under his influence; a responsibility of co-operating with the plan of evolution as it exists for them, and thus to expand their consciousness and teach them the difference between the real and the unreal, between life and form.

For a disciple, direct alignment with the Ego via the centres and the physical brain, is the goal of his life of meditation and discipline. Only then can he be of any real use to the Master. Thus, he is what he is because he has tried all lesser ways and has found them wanting, and has submitted to many guides, only to find them” blind leaders of the blind”. Nothing is left to him but to become his own guide and find his own way home, alone. In the loneliness which is the lot of every true disciple, are born that self-knowledge and self-reliance which will fit him in his turn to be a Master. This loneliness is not due to any separative spirit, but to the conditions of the Way itself.

From the works of AAB and Holy Master DK.

The probationary Path precedes the Path

of Initiation or Holiness, and marks that

period in the life of a man when he

definitely sets himself on the side of the

forces of evolution, and works at the

building of his own character. He takes

himself in hand, cultivates the qualities

that are lacking in his disposition, and

seeks with diligence to bring his

personality under control. He is building

the causal body with deliberate intent,

filling any gaps that may exist, and

seeking to make it a fit receptacle for the

Christ principle. He is taught principally to

know himself, to ascertain his

weaknesses and to correct them.

A great deal of training is given to a

probat ioner without him real ly

recognising it consciously. All this time

the aspirant remains in ignorance of what

has happened and is unaware of his

subjective contacts. He, however,

recognise in himself three things:

1. An increased mental activity.

2. Increase responsiveness to ideas

and increased capacity to vision the

Plan of the Hierarchy.

3. Increased psychic sensitiveness.

[This can be a test.]

The aspirant has to grow in all parts of his

nature, but until he can function as the

soul, the psyche, consciously and with the

use of co-operative intelligence, the lower

powers must be quiescent. The path is,

therefore, a path on which steady

expansion of consciousness is undergone

with increasing sensitivity to the higher

vibrations.

To be a probationary disciple, one can be

a devotee; the emphasis can then be laid

on purification and the acquiring of an

intelligent understanding of brotherhood

and human need; to be an accepted

disciple, working directly under the

Master and active in world work [with a

growing influence] requires a mental

polarisation, a heart development and a

sense of real values.

A disciple is one who above all else, is

pledge to do three things:

The Probationary Path

Souls and karmic connections

We have travelled through many lifetimes

and lived with many different souls amid

family, friends or those who don't really

get along with us. Some may have even

tried to harm us emotionally, physically or

spiritually. All said and done, we all are

the same and belong to only one group

that is souls. We all have travelled

together in different lifetimes and have

shared various relationships with each

other........Father-mother, husband-wife,

uncle-aunt, brother-sister, friends,

neighbours,servants,drivers and even so-

called enemies.

Each person is a Soul that tries to help the

other move forward spiritually and reduce

the Karmic baggage.

Sometimes the Soul that loves us the

most, might willingly take birth as an

enemy or a tormentor in a lifetime, just to

help us work out our karma.

Thus, a person who we think hates us and

we in return hate might be our greatest

well-wisher spiritually. He or She may be

responsible for our becoming spiritual or

compassionate. That very person who is

creating hell in our lives may bring us

closer to spirituality. In the present

lifetime, he/she may be doing so because

that could be the only way to teach us a

lesson. Sometimes, a Soul is reborn just

to comfort us and be there in times of

need.

So, who is our friend and who is our

enemy? They all are part of the Soul-

Family who wants to help us and want

help in return.Sometimes an opportunity

comes in the form of a Disaster.

Sometimes, the only way to grow

spiritually and in life is through pain,

sorrow and turmoil.That is when Life

seems strange. Hence never form

judgements, abuse or hate and never say

nasty things about anyone. Who knows

we may be harming the Soul who loves us

the most spiritually but are not able to

recognize it as the soul is wearing a

'Om Mani Padme Hung' Mantra of Avalokiteshvara for Love and Compassion towards all sentient beings who are tormented by misery. The Six Syllables are the quintessence of the mind of noble Avalokiteshvara. If you (Lay man) recite this mantras 108 times a day, you will not take rebirth in the three lower realm. In the following life you will attain a human body and in actuality you will have a vision of noble Avalokiteshvara. If you recite daily the mantras correctly 21 times you will be intelligent and able to retain whatever you learn. You will have a melodious voice and become adept in the meaning of all buddhadharma. If you recite this mantra seven times daily, all your misdeeds will be purified and all your obscuration will be cleared away. In the following lives no matter where you take birth you will never be separated from Avalokiteshvara . When someone is afflicted by disease or an evil influence, compared to any mundane ritual of healing or of repelling obstacles the merits of the mantra is much effective for warding off obstacles in disease. Compared to any medical treatment or cure, the six syllables are the strong remedy against sickness and evil.The compassion that has the Dharma as its focus in the six syllables of OM MANI PADME HUNG.

'OM' pacifies the suffering of the transmigration that the gods experience and makes them attain happiness

'MA' pacifies the suffering caused by fighting that demigods perpetuate and makes them attain happiness.

'NI' pacifies the suffering of serfdom and poverty that human beings undergo and makes them attain happiness.

'PAD' pacifies the suffering of stupidity that animals endure and makes them attain happiness

'ME' pacifies the suffering of hunger and thirst that hungry ghosts experience and makes them attain happiness.

'HUNG' pacifies the suffering of heat and cold that hell beings perceive and makes them attain happiness.

'Om Mani Padme Hum mantra is the quintessence of the Great Compassionate one so the merit of uttering it just once in incalculable. The possible multiplication

'Om Mani Padme Hung'

resulting from a single seed of the lotus flower lies beyond the reach of thought. But compared to that the merit of uttering the Six Syllables i.e.'Om Mani Padme Hung' just once is even greater.

Thus recitation of this mantra liberates all beings from Samasara.

Padmasambhava.

THE GARLIC PLANTWhile Bhagwan was persuing the

monthly journal Grihlakshmi he began to

laugh and handed the journal to

SuriNagamma as she was leaving the

hall, saying, the greatness of garlic is

described in it. Please read it. “People say

it is very good for health. Really is it so. It

cures rheumatism and gives strength to

the body. For children it acts like

amrit(nectar). Garlic is also known as

amrit.” A devotee asked how it got that

name. Sri Bhagwan replied, ”There is a

curious story about it,” and began telling

the following story.

As is well known, when Gods (devas) and

demons(rakshashas) churned the ocean,

amrit came out of i t . When the

rakshashas were running away with the

vessel containing amrit, devas appealed

to Vishnu. Vishnu came to the scene in

the shape of Mohini(enchantress), and

offered to resolve their quarrel by serving

amrit to them all. They agreed. While

serving it to the gods first, it appeared

that there might not be enough to go

round for the demons. One of the latter

got into the line of the gods, unobserved

by Mohini, and was swallowing the amrit,

when the Sun and the Moon noticed it and

gave her the hint. She threw the ladle,

with which amrit was being served, at the

demon in such a way as to cut off his

head. The ladle became the chakra (an

invincible lethal weapon of Vishnu) and

cut off hid head. But as the amrit had

already gone down his throat, the head

became a graham ( planet) and has since

been taking vengeance on the Sun and

the Moon at the time of eclipse. That is

the story. Now when the head of the

demon was severed, the trunk fell down,

and in the process, a few drops of amrit

fell on the ground. It is said that those

drops became the garlic plant. That is

why it is said that garlic has some of the

properties of amrit. It is very good for the

body. But since it also has the touch of the

demon, it has tamasic qualities too, which

when eaten affect the mind. Hence it is

forbidden for sadhakas.

-As told by Ramana Maharshi

LIVING FOR ONE ANOTHER In a theatre when drama plays, you opt for front seats. When film is screened, you opt for rear seats. Your position in life is only relative, not absolute. For making soap, oil is required. But to clean oil, soap is required. This is the irony of life. Only two category of people are happy in life: The Mad and The Child. Be Mad to achieve a goal. Be a Child to enjoy what you achieved. Enjoy the life..!! Neither you can hug yourself nor u can cry on your own shoulder. Life is all about living for one another, so live with those who love you the most. Relations cannot be understood by the Language of Money. Because, Some Investments Never Give Profit But They Make us rich...!

Kids feel Great in School

Atma Namaste. I am running schools and I have to deal with kids aged 2-6 years. 2 kids were admitted in my new school 2 months ago but they had been crying from the date of admission. Teachers were unable to understand what to do.

I thought why I don't do YPV Psycho healing of the kids. I applied it on Vardan (kid's name) and I was surprised with the result. It took only two healings to make him comfortable in school. It gave me confidence. Then I started healing of Chirag Gupta along with blessing. It took 6-7 healing sessions. But now both kids are happy. Vardan doesn't want to go home. He feels great in school. Thanks to Guruji, Rahul Sir, Shalja Ma'am & Ritu Ma'am for this help. Feeling blessed.

“The problem was first brought to light by

veteran beekeeper David Hackenberg in

October of 2006,” the film makers

explain, and this stunning documentary

“examines why honey bees have been

mysteriously disappearing from their

hives, often by the thousands in mere

hours. “Colony Collapse Disorder is a

crisis that affects not only beekeepers,

but also the farmers who depend on the

delivery of commercial honey bee hives to

pollinate more than $15 billion worth of

U.S. crops, including apples, broccoli,

almonds, watermelon, onions, cherries

and a hundred other fruits and

vegetables. “And without the bees to

pollinate crops, one out of every three

bites of food on our tables vanishes, too.”

“Meeting up with the owner of the largest thhoney bee operation in the U.S. – a 5

generation beekeeper in Yuma, Arizona –

they learn he has inexplicably lost more

than 2 billion bees in a very short period.

Gone without a trace, he's never seen

anything to this degree in his life.

“What's behind these unexplained

disappearances? With scientists casting

doubt on known pathogens and parasites

as the origin of the problem, this daring

documentary pinpoints a single, probable

cause and a handful of contributing

issues behind Colony Collapse.

“Filmed across the United States, Europe,

Australia and Asia, the documentary

explores the increasingly troubling effects

of commercial farming methods upon the

planet and its inhabitants.

“Along the way, organic beekeepers offer

up everyday solutions and generous

helpings of hope along with their

explanations for this tragic loss.”

The ancient world believed that

honeybees were prophetic – that their

actions were messages not to be ignored.

Could it be they're trying to tell us

something, but we're just not listening?

Excerpted from Theosophy Watch

April 26, 2012

MANY millions of years ago, ancient sages

taught, man and all the kingdoms of

nature were in their early formative

stages. The living prototypes were held in

an invisible astral matrix, a semi-physical

energy field, the repository of Earth's pre-

evolutionary blueprints. There was no

'solid matter' as we know it in those astral

times, more than 300,000,000 years ago.

Just as Earth mother nourished and

birthed innumerable beings in the

faraway past, the same grand

evolutionary scheme is mirrored today in

the differentiation of the human fetus-

stages that traverse single-celled zygote,

which becomes a mass of cells known as

a blastocyst.

Day by day mineral, plant, animal and

human kingdoms are all represented

sequentially over a relatively short period

as the developing fetus takes shape from

a tiny egg invisible to the naked eye.

Just 12 days after fertilization, the cells

destined to become the fetus turn into

something else first: the embryo. By

month's end, this embryo is about the

size of a grain of rice, and it looks more

tadpole than human, sporting a tail where

legs should be.

There was also a critical cycling in Earth's

development, when a relatively rapid

appearance of forms occurred,

“seemingly abruptly and from nowhere.”

Nearly all of the major phyla in the animal

kingdom appeared in a sudden burst of

evolution.

But, according to The Secret Doctrine

(2:52), “nature unaided fails,” and the

long period of ancient evolution was

neither random or blind. On the job at the

same time were highly evolved intelligent

beings who assisted in transferring and

reorganizing the many root-types carried

over from an older system.

Additionally, a few more developed

entities were transferred to the newly

forming Earth already in finished form,

occult science maintains, requiring no

prolonged evolution. “Neither the bee nor

the whea t had the i r o r i g i na l

differentiation in this chain of globes,”

Judge remarked cryptically: “but must

have been produced and finished in

some other [globe] from which they

were brought over into this.

Evolutionary adaptation was not needed

for the honeybees, apparently, who must

have hit the air flying.

“In the honeycomb of the bee lies

the symbol of its Eternal Record.”

Sadly, modern humans have become

notorious despoilers of Nature's divine

harmony. Known as Colony Collapse

Disorder, a man-made disaster,

honeybees have been mysteriously

disappearing across the planet — literally

vanishing from their hives without a

trace.

The actress-narrator Ellen Page opens

the documentary Vanishing of the Bees:

"If your like fruits and vegetables, you like

bees... honeybees pollinate one-third of

your diet. And they're in deep, deep

trouble.

SIX POINTS OF GOOD CONDUCT

“Never for a moment forget your occult relationship; it should be an ever-present inspiration to you- not only to shield from the fatuous thoughts which float around us, but a constant stimulus to spiritual activity. The ineffable bliss of Adeptship is not yet yours, but remember that you are already one with those who live that higher life. You are dispensers of their sunlight in this lower world. Therefore, you, at your level, must be radiant suns of love and joy. The world may be unappreciative, uncomprehending; but your duty is to shine.” – C W Leadbeater

The inculcation of moral conduct is a standing characteristic which has forever been on par with meditations and service in spirituality. The important attributes that one needs to imbibe have been listed in many books, articles, sayings, instructions and teachings. Many methods have been taught for the practice of goodness and elimination of the negative qualities. In the end, all that has ever mattered is the efforts of the practitioner. The simplicity of the six points of Good conduct cal led Shatsampatti (Upacharo) meaning attentions to conductalso came across in the book “The Masters and the Path” by C W. Leadbeater. They are listed as follows for the readers:

1. Samo (quietude): The most necessary and difficult quality to attain as it implies complete self-control. It simply means purity and calmness of thought which comes from perfect control of mind, thereby enabling one to become perfect instruments for Master's work.

2. Damo (subjugation): It is followed by Samo, that when there is complete control over mind, the next is complete control over actions and words.

3. Uparati (cessation): The aspirant h e r e i s r e q u i r e d t o h a ve independence of thought from superstition and religious rituals and a wide and generous tolerance. This in the general world would require one to be free from the necessity of any act or ceremony prescribed by a particular religion. It would also require one to be tolerant to others who are still mere believers of them.

4. Titikkha (endurance or forbearance):

This means that one is ready to bear whatever his karma brings to him with cheerfulness. The readiness to part with anything and everything worldly should also exist if at all necessary. What is to be noted is that one must look at the men who do him wrong as nothing but instruments of his own karma and avoid all wrongs towards him in the form of thoughts or actions.

5. Samadhana (intentness): One-pointedness. The characteristic to be acquired here is the incapability to de te r f r om one ' s pa th by temptations.

6. Saddha (faith): It implies the faith and the confidence of the pupil in his Master and in himself. The belief that there exists the Divine spark in him and when exercised upon will enable him to attain as his Master has done. The belief that no matter how diffident he feels at times, he has Master and the powers of him which will guide him and strengthen him each and every time.

AUMAUM commonly known as OM is the essential vibration of creation. According to spiritual tradition everything was created from vibration and OM represents the vibration of creation and the universe and can be felt during deep meditation.

OM is believed to be the sound present at the beginning of the universe from which all creation spawned. When we consider that all perceived matter is condensed energy vibrating at certain frequencies that keeps sub atomic particles together then idea that creation originated from a vibration/sound is plausible.

AUM consists or the three basic sounds; A-U-M. These are the sounds that we can utter without the use of our tongue. Press your tongue down with your finger and you will see that the only sounds you can make are A-U-M. The sound commonly uttered as “O” is what we utter as we attempt to blend A and U together (O is pronounced as diphthong blending A and U together). When we utter AUM we can feel the vibration move upwards from our stomach and chest to the head. A and U generate a vibration from the stomach and chest while with M we feel the vibration in our head.

These three sounds work in the same way as the three basic colours from which all other colours are derived. From AUM all other sounds and vibrations can be created. We position our tongue in various locations in our pallet and use the vibration of the basic sounds A-U-M to produce all other sounds. As all sounds/vibrations originate from OM/AUM the traditional view that the sound represents creation makes sense.

Although we associate OM chanting with

eastern traditions of Hinduism and

Buddhism it is prevalent in Christianity. If

you observe “AMEN” chanting from

ceremonies in the Vatican or the Greek

Orthodox priests of Mount Athos, they

utter the “AM” part of AMEN in the same

was as OM (i.e. prolonged AU and M). It

seems that there is a shared knowledge

between spiritual traditions and religions

that has been lost or not shared with the

masses.

Follow Simple InstructionsSometimes, healers get into trouble - Stiff, painful or itchy hands, arms and joints, low energy condition, difficult in sleeping, pain in legs or back, Kundalini syndrome or contaminated with symptoms of patient. Almost always, the root cause is the same not following simple instructions. To help understand what the simple (but important instructions are), to clarify any doubts or questions, to know how others are managing, or how you can stay free from such problems, some things you can do:· Read the course book again and

again· Review the classes when they

occur. There is no limit to how many times you can repeat a course, and it is almost free for most courses

· Discuss with other healers regularly and especially if you face problems

· Come to the foundation for group meditation and discuss with members present. Stay Connected.

Super foods and their several health benefits are dominating the health markets today, but our edible mushrooms have been left in the wild. People are quite indecisive about this naturally growing fungii-they either love them or hate them. Mushrooms impart a fifth taste sense called umami, which is savory. It is a fact that mushroom is no short of a super food with its miraculous, beneficial powers.

It is a common phenomenon that if a food lacks color, it also, in turn, lacks necessary nut r i en ts . However, mushrooms, which are commonly white, prove quite the contrary.

Listed below are top 5 reasons why we should include mushrooms more regularly in our everyday cooking:

l Boosts immunity -Se len ium present in mushrooms is a powerful anti-oxidant and has been found to improve the bodys immune response to infections, thus aiding to keep any kind of infections at bay. Mushrooms are the best way for vegetarians to obtain the necessary amount of selenium.

l Helps battle anemia-Mushrooms are a good source of iron and most importantly over 90% of this nutritive iron value can be absorbed by the body. Iron deficiency anemia i s ext remely common wi th characteristics like chronic fatigue,

headache, reduced neural function, etc. Thus, consuming mushrooms helps prevent these symptoms.

l For a healthy heart-Mushrooms provide lean proteins as it contains no fat and cholesterol and is low in carbohydrates too. Thus, it will not cause any clogging of arteries which eventually leads to heart disease and heart attack.

l Bone health-Mushrooms also contain Vitamin D which is a relatively rare vitamin to find in foods and that too, in the bio available form. Vitamin D can facilitate the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous (which are also present in mushrooms) so the combined effects of having all of these nutrients in one powerful food source makes it a food you shouldn't be neglecting.

l Helps control body weight-We all know that dietary fiber plays a big role in weight management and mushrooms contain 2 important types of dietary fibers-beta glucans and chitin. These make you feel full and thereby decrease your overall calorie intake by slowing down your appetite.

El Morya is the chohan of the first ray and chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood. El Morya represents the godly attributes of courage, certainty, power, forthrightness, self-reliance, dependability, faith and initiative. These are the qualities of the Father principle-the statesman, the executive, the ruler.He inspires in his subjects illumined obedience to the holy will of God.Statesmen, leaders and organizers are on the first ray under El Morya.Retreats: The Temple of Good Will over Darjeeling, India El Capitan, Yosemite Valley, California.El Morya's Previous LifetimesThe Master Morya was embodied as Abraham, the first Hebrew patriarch; Melchior, one of the three wise men.Camelot—a Vision of a Golden AgeIn the fifth century, a ruler of mythical proportion enters life's stage. No myth, this noble soul forged a glorious society where respect, justice, courage and truth prevailed—the mystical Camelot. El Morya was King Arthur.The Price of a Principled Life-Thomas Becket and Thomas MoreTwelfth century England finds the soul of El Morya incarnated as Thomas Becket, Arch bishop of Canterbury, defender of the church and at odds with King Henry II. Conflict regarding the influence of the church in the political affairs of the realm rise to a fever pitch. And Becket pays for his stand with his very life, brutally slain. Three centuries later, El Morya returns as Thomas More, Chancellor of England, during the reign of Henry VIII. And once again the soul of El Morya finds himself at loggerheads with the king of England. The same conflict of church and state arises, and finally a sentence of death by decapitation bring to a dramatic end in 1535 yet another embodiment of this unflinching soul. Akbar,Mogul Emperor-An Attempt to Foster Spiritual Brotherhood A mere seven years later, El Morya returns this time to embody in the East. He is Akbar, the greatest of the Mogul emperors. Service from the Heavenly Realms In the nineteenth century, El Morya, while residing in the spirit plane, collaborated with two other unascended masters-DjwalKul and Kuthumi-to work through Madame Helena Blavatsky and others in order to teach occult mysteries to a larger body of mankind. The founding of The Theosophical Society by Blavatsky in 1875 would be a major vehicle for this purpose.The striving of this “Man for All Seasons” won him his ascension in 1898.
